Software
PowerVault ME4 Series provides simplified, all-inclusive software licensing, including:
- Adapt (Distributed RAID): (like Dynamic Disk Pooling) reduces drive rebuild times
- Thin Provisioning: Allocate and consume physical storage capacity as needed in disk pools. Thin is virtual mode only.
- SSD Read Cache: Increase execution speed of applications by caching previously read data
- IP & FC Remote Replication: Safely replicate data to any global location that includes mirroring thin provisioned pools
- Snapshots: Easily recover files after accidental deletion or alteration with Redirect on Write snaps
- 3 Level Tiering: Get great performance with less hardware expense
- Volume Copy/Clones: Enable seamless volume relocation and disk-based backup and recovery with a full, replicated copy of source data
- Encryption (SEDs): Render data useless to unauthorized users with drive-level encryption, even if the drive has been removed from the enclosure (internal key management included)
- Virtualization Integrations: VMware vSphere, vCenter SRM, Microsoft Hyper-V
